\title{Class "rpa.priors"}

\description{Class for defining prior parameters in the RPA package.}

\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("rpa.priors", ...)}.

An extended list with elements alpha, beta, d.

\describe{

\item{alpha }{A list. Each element is a list that corresponds to one
		 probeset and specified the shape parameters of the
		 inverse Gamma distribution for the probe-specific
		 variance priors.}
						 
\item{beta }{A list. Each element is a list that corresponds to one
	     probeset and specified the scale parameters of the
	     inverse Gamma distribution for the probe-specific
	     variance priors.}
					     
\item{d }{Not implemented. Can be later used to set priors for d.}
}
